Warrior no more...

I play hockey, and I coach hockey (hopefully
my daughter Lois' novice girls team this fall), and one thing I HATE
about the game is the old school "boys will be boys" BS that masquerades
as a front for chauvinism, racism and bigotry in general.

I parent a boy who plays hockey, and two daughters that will grow up
playing the game we ALL love, and NO ONE will ever make it seem normal
for women to be anything but respected and esteemed on my watch.

Until Warrior changes their approach to advertising, I've purchased my
last item from them. The soul of the game, the confidence and
opportunity of my girls, and the power of my son to be an ally in gender
equality are all worth more than gear that subsidizes idiocy.
